We are an independent RSPCA branch, working locally to support pets and their owners.
We share the same values, standards and mission as the national RSPCA, but we are run locally, with a focus on helping our community directly
Community Focus
We work closely with local vets, businesses and partners to deliver services where they’re needed most.
What we do
Unlike some branches, we don’t rehome animals directly.
Instead, we focus on:
- Supporting pet owners
- Providing accessible services
- Educating the community
- Preventing animal welfare issues
This approach allows us to make a lasting impact across our region.
